Question Flexplate...Flywheel??????

O.k. guys my engine ignorance is gonna show thru here but I have a question for ya. My truck is an automatic.....do I have a flywheel or a flexplate? Are they the same thing? What's the difference, if not? And where can I get a replacement? Don't ask what happened to the old one. Let's just say junkyard engine pulling is not delicate surgery!!! Thanks.

Flexplate...Flywheel??????

You sir have a flexplate. Flywheels are different and are for manuals. You can get a new one made by pioneer from autozone for 70 bucks give or take. I would spend a couple bucks extra and get it balanced just for grins. I'm not even going to aske about the one that got ruined.

Also, the flex plate has holes in it and weighs about 10 lbs, 35 lbs lighter than a solid flywheel...
